Ohhh man..... I thought for about 5 minutes , pausing the video...... I found queen to g3..... Capa played queen to g3..... I was feeling proud.....in the next moment : Agad : "It was the biggest blunder of Capablanca." Wtf.....
I saw R takes queen, but it didn't look winning so I spent several minutes trying to find the winning move before giving up then was happily surprised it was in fact correct as I am rarely ablde to actually find the move.
This week, for the first time, I started hearing Agadmator's chess commentary while I played a game at my club. Specifically, I heard: "this is a nice rook lift"; "and now the rook has infiltrated the position"; "but now simply captures".
#agadmator commentates my games too: “And since there is nothing left to do here, it was in this position that kaldrazidrim resigned the game. Why did he resign? Well...”
Tarrasch's technique deserves special mention. Such restraint. He could have easily blundered the advantage right back to Capablanca, so poisonous was the board.
Me too, I was definitely much better when I was much younger and without any knowledge of opening theories! Now I'm playing too passively and reluctant to take risks, which is definitely not my style and not my forté!
@@droceretik It don't think it was meant literally--just that it is surprising that Capablanca blundered a piece like that.

that's because we are used to watch masterpiece games for the player whose saga is dedicated to, in this case Capa..If we can somehow make Agad to cover the whole tournament it would be far more exciting and we would have a broader knowledge for the rest of the players :/

I found the Rook takes Queen move, and was very surprised when Capablanca didn't play it. I guess even the best can miss an opportunity at times. I also saw Black's ...Qd2 move that Capablanca missed! These videos are definitely better than reading the games in books. Thanks Antonio!
I love your channel! The way you give us the history, analyze the game, and give us a chess puzzle every video keeps me coming back! Keep up the great work!
If you get the opportunity in your own games, especially if you're against a stronger opponent, always go for: captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures, captures { draw by insufficient material }.
@@SenorQuichotte It depends. I practice against SF on lichess. Once I beat it on level 7, but level 8 is still too much for me. No human can beat SF at full strength (assuming they don't have computer assistance of their own). You do know that my original comment was a joke, right?
Last game you commented on Fisher saying Capablanca only plays good endgames after a marvellous winning midgame. But i feel from my very beginning perspective that Capablanca played this as a legend with a piece down. Very impressive push and constant blocking of positions. Your channel is awesome.
I’ve done many Chess puzzles where they have similar variations when a queen is under threat of being captured and a counter threat is created where the idea is not to try to avoid the capture it’s more geared toward just exchanging the pieces and usually it works out to the positive Quite a surprise Casablanca missed the idea but even Magnus Blunders at times Fantastic game Thanks Agadmator
New to your channel. Love it!!! I was thinking that you should show the winners point of view at the bottom of the screen vs. white's position all the time. That way if black wins, we get to see it from their POV. Just a suggestion. All the best!
I believe Agadmator made a mistake there. 18:55 instead of Kb3 for black the best move should be Bc2, then black can triangulate with his bishop and only then play Kb3 Or maybe I'm just missing something
Agad:- it's a crucial position of the game pause the video and find the best move.. Me:- *pause the game*... (after few moments).. Agadmator has a nice set of pillows.. i kinda like them..🤔
Impressive resistance by Capablanca a piece down. His biggest blunder was in Karlsbad 1929 against Saemisch as he lost a piece on move 9! In that game Saemisch also had to work hard for the win.
In the hypothetical position at 20:09 it is not clear that W is better. It is Black's move, and if ... Rb8 the B rook can come to b2 and capture on c2 or a2. If W replies Rd1 then ...Rb2 , & W can play Rd7 with mutual pawn-grabbing (beginning ... Rxa2).
After bxd1, what happens if i go bh6 instead of bxe5? I threaten checkmate immediately, so theres no time for qd2, I imagine kf8, then qh8 check, which gets the rook back. Let me know whats wrong with it, since Im sure theres something.
d6d2 is the game, but made possible by f4e5. Perhaps Capablanca lost his way in the tangle of combinations and thought d2 was still covered after f4e5. Too bad we don't know how much time he took on f3g3.
But there was a forced trade of rooks until Jose had gone for a check with the rook. I don't if you have seen it or i miscalculated. I think it was this time 12:38. He could capture the passing pawn with the king.
Capablanca needed to see this as an omen to take the psychological element in chess more seriously 😳 because it happened again in his match against Alekhine for the world 🌎 championship.
@@bkocsis99 i've researched about this and its a very interesting endgame. There's really a checkmate but it's less move than a knight and bishop endgame. Just like the game about Carlsen vs Svidler
In that alternate ending, where White could keep offering his rook in hopes of achieving stalemate, after Black plays ...Kd4, could White then draw by capturing the pawn?
Capablanca definitely put up a brilliant resistance after going down a piece but Tarrasch composure to not make a mistake while ahead is also remarkable if it was me the complexity that Capablanca presents would had easily derail me and he properly would had drawn.
At the point that Capablanca made the blunder with his Queen to g3 you did not analyze bishop captures rook on e5. Would this not have been a chance for Capablanca to pick up a pawn?
At the end of your analysis, white could play Rxa3, going into a lost R+B versus R ending. Still with perfect play it takes 20+ moves for black to demonstrate a win. Personally, I'd want black to demonstrate the win before the 50 move rule kicked in.
Ohhh man..... I thought for about 5 minutes , pausing the video......
I found queen to g3.....
Capa played queen to g3.....
I was feeling proud.....in the next moment :
Agad : "It was the biggest blunder of Capablanca."
Wtf.....
I found queen takes rook, but I didn't see beyond that very clearly
LMAO
That was funny bro😁😁
I saw R takes queen, but it didn't look winning so I spent several minutes trying to find the winning move before giving up then was happily surprised it was in fact correct as I am rarely ablde to actually find the move.
Same
10:25 Mr.Lasker, рlease stoр making moves for other рlayers.
For me it looks like Lasker and Capablanca were very close, like Luke and Obi van Kenobi
TymexComputing or rather Anakin and Obi-Wan
A wild Lasker appears
Lol missed that initially 😂
He was THAT good of a player.
This week, for the first time, I started hearing Agadmator's chess commentary while I played a game at my club. Specifically, I heard:
"this is a nice rook lift";
"and now the rook has infiltrated the position";
"but now simply captures".
@Nicholas Bruno No, there were no passed pawns, or fast pawns. Maybe I could get Antonio to analyse my game?
"and here of course you see the drawn continuation, but unfortunately we are about to witness a terrible blunder...." fml
"and in this position, @avoncolyte resigned the game."
#agadmator commentates my games too:
“And since there is nothing left to do here, it was in this position that kaldrazidrim resigned the game. Why did he resign? Well...”

Tarrasch's technique deserves special mention. Such restraint. He could have easily blundered the advantage right back to Capablanca, so poisonous was the board.
It seems to me that Capablanca played better when he had no opening theory knowledge :)
He didn't lose for over 8 years from 1916 to 1924, and became world champion.
Me too, I was definitely much better when I was much younger and without any knowledge of opening theories! Now I'm playing too passively and reluctant to take risks, which is definitely not my style and not my forté!
But a Great Endgame player one of the Best
I can't believe Capablanca is down a piece.

No, capablanca is a sore loser wasting time when he is about to lose.

I love how Capablanca fought here, that's how you play chess
„And it was in this position that Jose Raul Capablanca has resigned the game“. Never believed I will hear these words
Showing us games that Capablanca loses makes it all the more dramatic. Great storytelling!
Capablanca must have been on full tilt after losing to lasker to make such a blunder

Beautifully deadpan and droll delivery on "telling your friends and family..."
10:40 Even Agadmator admits Tarrasch played like Lasker in this game!
capa down a piece and still played like this... the guy was good
My Saturday was a little rough. Just got a little better.
I cant get enough of these videossss
Leko defeated Caruana today, please cover their game #suggestion
Ok
That's wonderful. Thank you !
is it a good game?
15. ... Nh5 Caruana going for the draw again 😆
What a psychological blow Capablanca took after his game with Lasker. Going from first place in the tournament to two deserved back to back losses.
What an instructive game! Thx a lot!!
Wow, surprising to see Capa in such deep kimchi after Qd2!
It’s a great consolation to me that even Capablanca blunders pieces.
10:26 "allows Lasker to trade down 1 more piece " Lol
At 19:35: Why can Capablanca not just take the pawn on a3 and try to hold the R vs R+B endgame? Am I missing something here?
That's exactly what I thought. Is it possible that Capa could have drawn after all?
@@yanair2091 he is Capablanca so he can draw it
Dr. Tarrasch played this really good. He was a real legend himself. I am kinda biased towards Dr. Tarrasch as I am a doctor myself :D
in position 19:37 : after Rb3+, KC4 , why not R:a3? can black do anything with bishop against a rook?
😮 and I’m actually watching this on Saturday!!!
Feeling like Capablanca already, wanted to go for the same blunder! :D
14:39 *BEST MOVE*
19:28 but the rook could take the a3 pawn , correct? rook vs rook & bishop ending could be a draw?
I believe Agadmator made a mistake there. 18:55 instead of Kb3 for black the best move should be Bc2, then black can triangulate with his bishop and only then play Kb3
Or maybe I'm just missing something
Agad:- it's a crucial position of the game pause the video and find the best move..
Me:- *pause the game*... (after few moments).. Agadmator has a nice set of pillows.. i kinda like them..🤔
Best chess commentetor as well as best chess channel
I might just be missing something, but isn't White Bishop captures on e5 decent as well? 5:02
Very well played by Siegbert Tarrasch!
Casperblanca, the game that haunts.
19:53 if took captures pawn isn't it a draw anymor??? Cuz the king is on a wrong color square
Impressive resistance by Capablanca a piece down. His biggest blunder was in Karlsbad 1929 against Saemisch as he lost a piece on move 9! In that game Saemisch also had to work hard for the win.
How refreshing to find that even the best make mistakes. Now I don't feel so dumb.
In the hypothetical position at 20:09 it is not clear that W is better. It is Black's move, and if ... Rb8 the B rook can come to b2 and capture on c2 or a2. If W replies Rd1 then ...Rb2 , & W can play Rd7 with mutual pawn-grabbing (beginning ... Rxa2).
Always a good saturday when you get a nice capa video. I personally love the shirt you're wearing, can you ship to south-africa?
thanks man, you da man
*Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.*
10:25 Dr.Lasker again couldn't resist himself and made a move for Dr.Tarassch.. 😀😀
Lasker is so strong a player, he can even trade pieces in games he doesn't participate in.
10:25
0:45 i think what Lasker means in "without error there can be no brilliancy" is error by the player creating the brilliancy not the opponent
Thank you really nice explained.
So he is human!
At 19:33, what if ruck takes pon on a3?
10:26 A wonderful move that allows LASKER to trade down?
This game is features in 'My System'
What is that shirt he is wearing????
After bxd1, what happens if i go bh6 instead of bxe5? I threaten checkmate immediately, so theres no time for qd2, I imagine kf8, then qh8 check, which gets the rook back. Let me know whats wrong with it, since Im sure theres something.
@Rahul Khanduri the g pawn is pinned, if thats what youre referring to.
@Rahul Khanduri oh you mean g6, yea i didnt consider that. Again, im just asking to begin with.
Hi brother.. Pls share Magnus calsan defeats as well..
10:25 a wild Lasker appears
Lasker haunts both this game and this video.
19:23 how bout Rxa3 grabbing a pawn with some drawing chances
d6d2 is the game, but made possible by f4e5. Perhaps Capablanca lost his way in the tangle of combinations and thought d2 was still covered after f4e5. Too bad we don't know how much time he took on f3g3.
Why didn't Capablanca try to defend his c4 pawn in the end..?
But there was a forced trade of rooks until Jose had gone for a check with the rook. I don't if you have seen it or i miscalculated. I think it was this time 12:38. He could capture the passing pawn with the king.
10:26 Lasker was playing this game too??
Of course!
Lasker bitch slapped everyone in that tournament to Vladivostok, why would he limit himself to *just* his own games?
At 19:24, why not Rxa3?
Capablanca needed to see this as an omen to take the psychological element in chess more seriously 😳 because it happened again in his match against Alekhine for the world 🌎 championship.
12:44 why not checkmate by rook by white??
10:26 Lasker?
10:27 Lasker made a move for Tarasch
19:23 after ..Kc4, Rxa3 is a theoretical draw
This is what I was wondering about. Wouldn't that be a draw?
@@bkocsis99 i've researched about this and its a very interesting endgame. There's really a checkmate but it's less move than a knight and bishop endgame. Just like the game about Carlsen vs Svidler

19:23 What if rook captures pawn?
19:59 - 😌👌
Did you apply your shipping fee that comes with a Tracking Number? Hopefully your book arrives soon.
20.00 min. Bxe5? Wouldn't be better?
10:26 allows who? 🤔
In that alternate ending, where White could keep offering his rook in hopes of achieving stalemate, after Black plays ...Kd4, could White then draw by capturing the pawn?
I THINK SO
white could draw but it's a win for black according to stockfish if played perfectly by black
You have good taste. We're wearing the same T-shirt.
So is lasker now winning the tournament?
Agadmator Who do you prefer.... Capablanca or Lasker
That supposed Tarrasch-quote is actually a german proverb.
"Unglück kommt selten allein."
